When your family is suffering as a result of doctor negligence, our attorneys can prepare a compelling case that demonstrates how the doctor's negligence has affected your family — physically, emotionally, and financially — in terms a jury can understand.

Hospital-acquired infections: Many hospital-acquired infections are preventable. However, failure to comply with proper patient care procedures can cause a patient to suffer unnecessary infection, illness, and even wrongful death. Additionally, hospital infections can lengthen a patient's hospital stay — augmenting their medical bills. Common hospital-acquired infections can include:

• Urinary tract infections associated with catheter use during hospital stay
• Post-surgical infections/surgical site infections
• Bloodstream infections
• Pneumonia/lung infections
• Staph infections
• MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)

Our personal injury attorneys advocate for patients who have suffered from hospital-acquired infections resulting from contaminated medical devices or surgical instruments and other medical malpractice.

Negligent treatment of infections: Even minor infections can cause serious, life-threatening problems, if not properly identified, diagnosed, and treated. Our medical malpractice lawyers hold physicians, hospitals, and other medical providers accountable for negligent treatment of infections, including failure to provide adequate follow-up care after a surgery or procedure, failure to properly monitor an infection, failure to diagnose an infection, and other medical malpractice.
